Sex dolls perfect? Hmm…I’m not so sure. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of advantages when it comes to ‘sex toys‘ – especially when it comes to living alone or without traditional partners – but it’s not necessarily perfect.
I have some friends who are very into their sex dolls. To them, it’s almost ideal. They love living with a ‘companion’ that never argues or complains. They get the kind of companionship and pleasure they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to get from a real person. There’s even an entire online community devoted to the use and dildos care of the dolls.
But even for them, it’s not perfect. They know it’s not a real person, and they often find it hard to feel truly connected to their dolls. There’s no getting around that. Plus, apart from the obvious ‘mechanical’ drawbacks that come with a sex toy, there’s the financial cost of constantly having to buy new accessories and maintain the doll.
And of course, there’s the emotional cost. We humans are naturally programmed to crave companionship and true connection. A sex doll can’t provide that emotional intimacy that a real relationship can – and that doesn’t just mean intimate physical contact either (though that’s an obvious hurdle that will always exist).
The truth is that although sex dolls are a great help for some, it’s not perfect for everyone. There’s a real (and often prohibitively high) cost to bear. Plus, it’s not realistic to expect them to provide the emotional connection and gratification that a real person can offer. It’s just not possible.
I feel like a lot of people think sex dolls are the ‘perfect’ option for those without a partner, but that’s simply not the case. Sure, it can meet some needs, but it’s no substitute for a real relationship. It’s not perfect – nothing ever is.
